PM doing a discussion about Xmas. Presenter saying you can still see everyone. Just go to see 6 different people at their houses every day between Christmas and New Year. Head...desk.
The man is a menace.
You do realise that this post wasn't criticising the PM?
Mark Drakeford, Wales FM, has just said on Wales news that Wales is closing pubs at 10.00pm partly because if England closes earlier than Wales the customers will just come into Wales
What way to make policy
He’s not wrong though
But I thought it was science led !!!
You mean like:
- 6 in a group from 2 households - 8 in a group from 3 households - 6 in a group not including children ...
At least this has a basis in science - behavioural science.

Yes.
Who was the presenter? Or were you just getting the daily therapeutic anti Boris rant off your chest
Another trip out for Mrs Stodge and I to meet three friends at Surrey Quays.
A decent lunch but again the tube experience shows the inadequacy not of the rules but of the enforcement of the rules. The law-abiding are following the mask rules and I reckon that was about 90% of those we saw. The remainder (mostly young men and women) either wore the mask at half-mast or didn't have a mask at all.
Although ASDA are now making noises about challenging non-mask wearers, I saw no effort from Transport for London staff nor any sign of the British Transport Police on trains and platforms enforcing the rules - a few announcements were ignored.
What is the point of a law if it is being so regularly and obviously flouted with no consequences? Others will ask why should obey the law if other people are doing so brazenly with no fear of consequences.
I know we have to endure the wishy-wishy namby-pamby wokeism of the Conservatives who used to be the Party of law and order and we have an invisible Home Secretary who, to paraphrase Blackadder, is wetter than a haddock's bathing costume. Yes, she talks tough but that's all most Tory Home Secretaries do - all talk and no action.
Pandering to the anti-mask minority is a pretty poor example of law enforcement - we need to get the Army out and about on the streets and dish out some serious fines to those who won't wear a mask and can't produce evidence as to why they should be exempt. Stopping those who won't wear a mask without an exemption from travelling on public transport would be another useful action.
Johnson might be wrestling with his inner philosophical conflict - the rest of us have to wrestle with whether we'll get the virus or not thanks to the idiocy of a minority whose selfishness and vanity is risking the lives of others.

This really really fucks me off. Rather than try and educate the public, the first response has always been find a loophole or edge case.
This is deeply irresponsible, encouraging dangerous behaviour. Imagine if they broadcast the locations of police roadside stops for drink driving tests were over a Christmas period.
Seriously, how long before OFCOM drags the CEOs of media companies in and reminds them not to be so damn complicit in the death toll?
Trump and the Republicans are closing in. They will do it. So much of the Democrat vote is wasted, Huge majorities in strong states but being caught elsewhere, just like last time.
